Thanks!

While I'm happy to contribute such a change, I'm not fond of the
structure of the bitbake tests. They are a lot of times system
tests that require access to remote servers etc.

And in this case, the manipulation happens in the git fetcher,
and it has no unit tests at all (not including indirect system
testing). E.g., the following trivial patch to the URLHandle
tests would not catch this issue:

  --- a/bitbake/lib/bb/tests/fetch.py
  +++ b/bitbake/lib/bb/tests/fetch.py
  @@ -644,7 +644,8 @@ class URLHandle(unittest.TestCase):
  ...
  -       "git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake;branch=@foo" : ('git', 'git.openembedded.org', '/bitbake', '', '', {'branch': '@foo'})
  +       "git://git.openembedded.org/bitbake;branch=@foo" : ('git', 'git.openembedded.org', '/bitbake', '', '', {'branch': '@foo'}),
  +       "git://git.example.org:1234/bitbake" : ('git', 'git.example.org:1234', '/bitbake', '', '', {}),
  ...

I did try to add unittests for the git fetcher at one point, but
the patches were rejected because I made changes to the git
fetcher itself, in order to simplify testing. In this case, the
behavior is isolated to _get_repo_url, which is side effect free,
so again, I'm happy to try adding tests for this particular case.

Could also mention that the bb.fetch2.URI class' unittest suite
does have tests for various variations, including port numbers,
and it was designed to be side-effect free in order to make unit
testing simple. Adapting this would give some testing for free.


Anyways, I'll hopefully have a patch ready for review early next
week. Have a nice weekend :)
